Skaters on screen at Nimbin

Skaters giving 110% is a popular theme in ABC Open's video project about sports mad people.

For the past two months we've been watching and praising athletes giving their 110% at the Olympics in London, but you know, every week people all over the country give their version of 110% to their sport.

In Nimbin's 110% workshop the participants, as young as 10 and well let's just say 50-something, took to the Friends of Nimbin
Skatepark park to document the passion of 15-year-old skater, Ishta.

Ishta is a relatively newcomer to skating but
he is dedicated. Everyday he heads down to the skatepark to try and master a new trick. His current challenge is the
kick flip. This video was made by the participants of an ABC Open 110%
workshop in partnership with Youth Connections North Coast's centre at
Nimbin.

Workshop participants learned how to script, do an interview, shoot and edit this mini documentary on Ishta. The group called their video "Kick Flip"

The creators are:
Tarquin, Adrienne, Miles, Nelita, Lynne, Tessa, Ziggy, Lisa, and Harry.
The music is “Hanging Rock” and “Wave” by Nimbin band Antibodies

This story is one of eight videos Youth Connections and I will be screening at Nimbin on Friday night, September 21. See the events listing for all the details.
